How long did it take to get your truck?

I was just wondering, because I ordered my 04 on may 30th and I was recently given a delivery date of aug 13th. Is the delivery date usually pretty accurate?

Ordered mine on Nov 17th and arrived on Jan 2nd which delivery was delayed because of the holidays. Didn't matter though because the truck came in with the wrong color interior and they had to reorder another truck. Ordered 2nd truck on Jan 5th and got it on Feb 17th. Seems like they were right on with the delivery date on the second truck or at least with in a day or so. They shoud be able to tell you if its on the truck yet or not.

Mine took 12 weeks. I was quoted 8. They actually lost the truck for two weeks before they found it in a parking lot somewhere in Michigan.

It then took them another 2 weeks to deliver it 600 miles.

I don't think my experience is the norm. Just wanted you to know that it could happen!

I ordered mine late October 2001, finally took delivery first of March 2002. I would hope that their build time has improved since then.

Just under two months for mine. They are VERY accurate with the timing on your truck as long as it's in the plant. For instance, if there was someway with your VIN# (provided you have it) that you could monitor it on a daily basis, you could. Each time it passes an assembly area, it's logged.

Once it leaves the factory though and is on a truck, all bets are off. Some drivers take the scenic route

I ordered my 2500HD in the summer of 2001. It took my truck 10 weeks to arrive. One reason mine may have taken a little longer to be built is because I specified the 6sp manual, and my salesman said that unpopular options will some times add to the lead time. My truck is a 2002, I took delivery on Sept. 12 2001. One week before 0.0% financing was made available. Just my luck! After the dealer received the VIN it took about 1 week to the day to deliver the truck.

Randy- judging by the amount of time elapsed you should see that heavy Silver any day now. Just try to sleep at night. I know its hard to do this close to the delivery date!

I dont own a HD, I do own an 03 Tahoe

Ordered In late Jan of 03.

Called GM w/ my order code and i was told production was to begin at thier Janesville,WI plant in March sometime. I continued to follow up, and i learned that once they recived a certain 'count' they would begin the production. Truck was built in March and I picked it up from dealership when it arrived there in Late April/Beginning of May 03.

Best of luck!!

The number i called was on the GM Web Site, under the dealer 'use' numbers

i simply called, stated Im following up order and gave them the order code.

When my dad ordered his 03 1500HD they also "lost" it, somewhere. Took an extra MONTH to "find" it. Then they finally shipped it, and my dad had to "bitch" to get it out of holding from one of the holding places down here, whatever they do there. we were watching them clean it cause he wanted it.. baaaaaad. lol. he was pizzed needless to say... forget when he actually got it.
